Carlton SWCD (Hay Creek Compo culvert replacement) - 401 Water Quality Certification
We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the Hay Creek Compo culvert replacement project in Carlton County.
Carlton Soil and Water Conservation District, in partnership with Technical Service Area 3, proposes to replace the three existing undersized and corroding culverts that convey Hay Creek under a private driveway in Carlton County to restore stream connectivity and improve fish passage and natural sediment transport. The district will replace the culverts with a new 22-foot-long, 20-foot-6-inch-wide, 7-foot-3-inch-high aluminum box culvert embedded into the stream’s substrate.
The project will discharge 117 cubic yards of fill material into Hay Creek, temporarily excavate 224.6 cubic yards from the creek, and impact 22 linear feet of stream.
A 401 Water Quality Certification is required when an individual, business, or property owner proposes construction-related activities near a navigable lake, river, stream, or adjacent wetland. The MPCA reviews projects to ensure they will not violate Minnesota's more protective water quality standards. The 401 certification becomes an enforceable component of the associated federal license or permits issued under the Clean Water Act.
